JontheEchidnaLex79: it's past feature freeze now for univere, would need a motu-release ack00:33
JontheEchidnaadiroiban: kde-l10n-yourlang00:33
JontheEchidnaSo I think we have to force mysql 5.1 for karmic. akonadi really doesn't work with 5.0, for whatever reason00:39
JontheEchidnareverting to depending on mysql-server-core-5.1 rather than mysql-server-core would be the least invasive/regression prone way to deal with this, even if it is inconvenient for people who want 5.0 for whatever reason00:40
EagleScreengood luck then00:40

rickspencer3Riddell, neither09:43
rickspencer3I'm in London ;)09:43

RiddellUSB creator was working fine for me last week09:43
Riddellrickspencer3: careful, declairing London to be not part of Europe, that's political conversations you're in there :)09:44
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: well, I am good with that, but it is really just reducing the amount of affected people ... someone who got software installed that requires 5.0 and akonadi will run into problems as well10:01
apacheloggerthe larger question however is, did we do something that triggered the incompability with 5.0 or does upstream just require 5.110:02
apacheloggerI kind of doubt the latter though10:02
Riddellapachelogger: I seem to remember akonadi requires 5.110:04
Riddell(or that might have been amarok)10:04
apacheloggeramarok does10:04
apacheloggeralways did, there is no embed mysql stuff in 5.0 :)10:04
apacheloggerRiddell: my theory is: since we build both, qt and akonadi against mysql 5.1 they both just can't talk to a 5.0 server10:08
apacheloggerif we built them against 5.0 it probably would be able to talk to 5.1 though10:08
apacheloggerthat said, 5.0 is in universe (AFAIK), so that is no option anyway10:08
apacheloggeronly solution is to revert to hard-dep on 5.110:08
apacheloggerwhich of course will conflict with people wanting 5.010:09
apacheloggerbut that is IMHO an architectual problem in mysql10:09
apacheloggerif they did not revert my precious make-mysql-versions-co-installable enhancements we would not have this problem to begin with since 5.0 and 5.1 could be installed at the same time10:09
apacheloggerbut oh well10:09
apacheloggerRiddell: do you concur?10:10
* apachelogger prepares an upload10:10
=== Tonio__ is now known as Tonio_
Riddellapachelogger: I think I do10:12
Riddellit sounds sensible but hard to be sure without looking closer at it10:12
Riddellbut uploading a hard dep on 5.1 will certainly keep it working10:12
apacheloggerfor the larger part of the users anyway10:13
apacheloggerthose that have software requiring 5.0 are still boned :S10:13
apacheloggerRiddell: uploaded, should arrive in the queue soonish :)10:16
davmor2Riddell: bug 46022511:02
ubottuLaunchpad bug 460225 in ubufox "Firefox v 3.5.3 Home Page Error" [High,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/46022511:02
davmor2Looks like the kubuntu FF installer doesn't pull in the offline homepage11:03
Riddelldavmor2: that bug is pretty unclear in saying what the problem is11:04
Riddelldavmor2: but it sounds like a firefox packaging bug to me, it's certainly not the responsibility of kubuntu-docs to have anything whatsoever to do with firefox11:05
Riddellinfact that's really cheeky that they claim a firefox packging issue is a kubuntu issue11:06
davmor2Riddell: I can add info to it basically I've just run a test on it and /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork  isn't installed so it can't find the index.html which is at /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html11:06
Riddellyep, that really does have nothing whatsoever to do with us11:07
davmor2Riddell: I'll let you duke it out with asac then :D11:07
* apachelogger notes that he nees to make the installer install firefox-gnome-support for lucid11:11
RiddellNCommander: did you manage to look into the kdebase-runtime issue on arm at all?11:38
Riddellif I had an arm machine I'd be wanting to check if onto2vocabularyclass runs or if it runs with an older version of soprano11:39
Riddellthe other thing to do is just to disable compiling the nepomuk dirctory on arm11:41
Riddellbut I'd still need something to test that on11:41
jussi01Riddell: any chance youve got a moment too look at my lancelot issue? or should I just wait for JontheEchidna....12:10

jussi01JontheEchidna: do you know where to find him? is he irc-able? or is there some better way to sort this (forward bug upstream?)12:26
JontheEchidnaI think he's on IRC sometimes, but I cannot recall the nick atm12:26

jussi01hrm, where is the lanceltot config, maybe if I nuke that and see if it fixes things.12:28
Lex79good morning, users in my forum complains about there is no time remaining in battery plasmoid, only % remaining. Is it a kde bug ?12:30
Lex79I haven't a notebook to test it12:31
sebasIt's not a bug, we deliberately leave it out since there's no way the remaining time can be measured reliably12:31
sebaspower consumption is too dymamic12:31
Lex79thanks sebas :)12:31
sebasno problem12:31
Sputsebas: mmmh, it was nice to have something like that though just for seeing how what you do currently extrapolated over time12:54
Sputso you knew that you were currently something expensive12:54
Sput(e.g. the current drain rate would be cool, if not in the form of a time estimate)12:54
sebasSput: we decided against it since most people won't understand that this number is highly speculative12:55
sebasYou can probably add showRemainingTime=true in the plasmoid's config to make it appear, but the option will likely go away in 4.412:55
Sputsebas: how about the current drain rate then? or something like that?12:55
sebasSput: maybe I'll add some advanced battery information, now I'm concentrating on fixing up the popup's layout12:57
Sputsebas: 'tis ok, just food for thought :)12:57
sebascool :)12:57
* Sput is slacking too much lately12:58
SputI'm working on your feature, but it's taking way too long because I can't focus too much currently :/12:58
EagleScreenon karmic: I have to press ten times the brighness key to decrease or the brighness, only can go to from full brighness to lower13:12
orestesHello, may I ask a little question about kubuntu CD customization?13:16
Riddellorestes: yes13:16
orestesI'm creating the Catalan Remix CD from an original english CD using UCK tools, but when I boot into the customized Kubuntu there are 2 ovelapping plasmoids on the screen, which can cause confusion to new users.13:17
Riddellorestes: which plasmoids?  is this jaunty or karmic?13:18
orestesI want to know which configuration file must I change to get rid of one of these plasmoids13:18
orestesIs karmic, of course.13:18
Riddellorestes: unfortunately plasma doesn't make it easy to use a config file for the default layout, so we end up patching it, the patch is kubuntu_71_default_plasma_layout.diff in kdebase-workspace13:20
orestesRiddell: Ok, I see. But I'm not sure I'd be able to dig into this patch, so is there any config file, script, or so I can modify in the unpacked CD root filesystem? I've this filesystem unpacked as part of my customization process...13:26
Riddellorestes: well the quickest workaround would be   rm /usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-applet-microblog.desktop13:31
Riddellof course then people can't add back microblog should they wish to13:32
orestesOk. Many thanks. I'll try in a while (now going lunch ;-)13:33
Riddellorestes: let us know how you get on13:35
Riddellwell here's a workaround for arm http://people.canonical.com/~jriddell/tmp/kdebase-runtime_4.3.2-0ubuntu4.debdiff13:46

ScottKRiddell: Quassel has switched to gettext for translations for their next release, so they should no longer be weired when it comes to that.14:59
Riddellgood idea quassel devs15:04
Sputlet's see how it plays out :)15:11
Sputsince Qt 4.5 it's quite easy to convert between .po and .ts, so we updated our build system to use .po15:11
RiddellI wish qt would just convert to using gettext15:16

apacheloggergit pwsn bzr for that matter15:44
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: btw, when you poke pitti about that nl translation issue ... could you also find out why apport-checkreports got a seperate arg for for system user reports?15:47
apacheloggerfor performance reasons it would make sense to consider both user and system user reports taken into account ... as per reference implementation in gnomes update-notifier we would need to call checkreports twice15:48
apacheloggeroh15:49
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: nvm15:49
* apachelogger remembers :D15:49
apacheloggersystem reports require sudo access and thus the user should not care, which is why I do not want to support that case to begin with15:49
apachelogger+ I still find running checkreports twice is a PITA performance-wise15:50
yuriyapachelogger: iirc system reports includes user reports15:51
yuriyoh but does it need to be run twice to check if you need to run it with system reports?15:52
apacheloggerupdate-notifer does run it twice, once without and once with system15:54
apacheloggeralso I doubt that system includes user, then the name would be misleading :P15:54
